I believe this was mentioned last patch as well, but it is worse now. Before you could apply the PC Gamer skin and get the right look (what was advertised in the magazine, and matches their logo) but if you tried to change and re-apply the color elsewhere it was too dark. Now mechs that had it before have been changed across the board to the darker red (a really, very dark shade) which looks nothing like the iconic PC Gamer logo.

I would like to petition PGI to swap the PC Gamer red with Phranken Red - which is identical to the original PC Gamer red color (I verified that last patch by applying the PC Gamer skin then 'changing' to Phranken Red - nothing on screen changed). This would get things fixed for those of us who paid for the PC Gamer skin (by buying that issue of the magazine) and honestly, the darker red seems more appropriate for a skin called "Phranken" - assuming it is supposed to be pronounced like Frankenstein.
